DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Indiana is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct a comprehensive review of its administrative structure and organizational effectiveness. The review will establish an accurate current-state baseline covering where work is performed, how decisions are made, and how central and distributed units interact.

The engagement will assess structural complexity, fragmentation, duplication, capacity constraints, unclear accountability, unnecessary management layers, and dysfunctional organizational interfaces. It will also evaluate service-delivery options, including centralization, shared services, standardization, automation, and consolidation, while determining which capabilities should remain distributed based on local or mission-specific needs.

The selected vendor will clarify roles and decision rights across central offices, departments, centers or institutes, regional structures, and key enterprise partners. The work will identify and quantify evidence-based opportunities to reduce costs or administrative burdens, as well as areas requiring additional investment. Final deliverables will include prioritized recommendations, implementation sequencing, governance requirements, change-management considerations, and measures of success. The contract period will be one year. Questions must be submitted by October 16, 2026.
